Letter: Support For Obama Gives Some People Fits

One of my favorite things to tell people who aren’t fans of our first black president is that if Mr. Barack Obama could run for president again, I’d vote for him. The look on their face is priceless. Imagine a 2-year-old throwing a four-star hissy fit because the sitter says it’s nap time, but cartoons are on for another hour.

When the fit doesn’t work, these folks go all constitutional on me, starting with impeachment and the 10th Amendment, followed by a heaping helping of massive voter fraud. You can tell right away that all their precious prime time with Bill O’Reilly on Fox News wasn’t wasted. But I still like the hissy fit better.

One of these constitutional “scholars” is a minimum wage guy who collects plastic trays and cleans off tables at the fast food place down the street. When this happens, you don’t need to be professor Neil deGrasse Tyson to know that some very strange things are going on in the darkest corners of our political universe.
